Generating Password-Based Keys Using the GOST Algorithms
RFC 9337, “Generating Password-Based Keys Using the GOST Algorithms”, is an Informational document published in December 2022 by E. Karelina. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies how to use "PKCS #5: Password-Based Cryptography Specification Version 2.1" (RFC 8018) to generate a symmetric key from a password in conjunction with the Russian national standard GOST algorithms.
PKCS #5 applies a Pseudorandom Function (PRF) -- a cryptographic hash, cipher, or Hash-Based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) -- to the input password along with a salt value and repeats the process many times to produce a derived key.
This specification has been developed outside the IETF. The purpose of publication being to facilitate interoperable implementations that wish to support the GOST algorithms. This document does not imply IETF endorsement of the cryptographic algorithms used here.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
